LG wins innovation award for 84in UHD TV

The television set, which was unveiled at CES 2012, boasts a resolution of 3,840 x 2,160 pixels, quadrupling the typical amount of pixels found in the current generation of high-definition TVs.

"We are honored that CES has awarded LG the 'Best of Innovations' award for the fifth year in a row," said D.Y.Kim, president of LG Electronics Gulf FZE. "From energy-efficient home appliances to quad-core smartphones and stylish smart electronics, LG will be bringing to market a diverse portfolio of products that are designed to improve consumers' lives."

The UHD format is expected to be one of the big trends at CES 2013, with rival firms also expected to debut similar next-gen television sets. In order to officially fall under the category, a TV must have a resolution of at least 3,840 x 2,160 pixels.
